This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

Zorro by Isabel Allende


I really enjoyed this book...I was expecting something totally different, but in the end I am glad the author wrote it the way she did. It is all about the childhood and events that lead to the creation of El Zorro!! There were a few parts that dragged on, but overall I really liked it. It was not all about his adventures, which might have been redundant after a while. It mixed in history and culture to make a great story!!

I have read other books of hers and I truly enjoy her way of writing. She talks to the readers, not simply telling a story, but telling it to you personally. Almost like you are sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories! Isabel Allende is wonderful! I had been meaning to read a book in Spanish and this one was a great start. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.
